Wave, Hawaii

Vortices form underwater on a wave ridden by a surfer at Hawaiis Pipeline. Going underwater brings a new world to life revealing the intricacies that go about unseen during surfing.

Bear Cubs

Two year old sister and brother cubs are waiting alone for their mom to return from salmon fishing.

Worlds Longest Tunnel

13 sec long photo inside worlds longest road-tunnel in between traffic. Length of tunnel is 24,5 km. Speed limit is 80 km/h. The blue color is from the special lights that they have in caves inside the tunnel. I wanted a photo to show the extremeness of this endless tunnel. In my photo you see car lights in the end of the tunnel, and that is all you'll see in real too. As this tunnel goes on for 20 minutes.

Rainbow, Lake Champlain

This image was made on the afternoon of October 20, 2011, just before sunset, near Lake Champlain in Vermont.

Cocooned Trees, Pakistan

An unexpected side effect of the 2010 flooding in parts of Sindh, Pakistan, was that millions of spiders climbed up into the trees to escape the rising floodwaters; because of the scale of the flooding and the fact that the water took so long to recede, many trees became cocooned in spiderwebs. People in the area had never seen this phenomenon before, but they also reported that there were fewer mosquitoes than they would have expected, given the amount of standing water that was left. Not being bitten by mosquitoes was one small blessing for people that had lost everything in the floods.

Kermode Bear in Tree, British Columbia

A mother of two cubs climbs a Pacific crab apple tree to grab its tart and tiny fruit. In years when autumn salmon numbers are low, the bears must find other food, such as wild berries, lupine roots, and mussels.

Infinty Pool, Singapore

The vertiginous "infinity pool" at the Marina Bay Sands resort offers a sweeping view of Singapore, a country that's achieved success while building up instead of out.

Silica Pond, Iceland

One of the highlights of the interior of Iceland: a hot-water pond, charged with silica, glowing in the middle of nowhere.

Autumn Landscape, Adirondacks

Sunlight dapples the shoulders of Algonquin and Wright, two of the more than 40 so-called High Peaks that rise above 4,000 feet. Once blighted by logging and industry, the region has undergone a renaissance of woods and waters.

Iceland : "waterfall of the gods."

A glacial torrent pours over a 40-foot-high ledge at Gođafoss, "waterfall of the gods." After the Icelandic assembly adopted Christianity in 1000, its leader threw his pagan idols into the falls. The mossy island, notes geographer Guđrún Gísladóttir, "is protected from sheep."




at Arnarstapi

Winter surf pours through arches it has carved in the basalt at Arnarstapi, on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. In a few months the place will be a carnival of kittiwakes, seabirds that breed here. The large arch is roughly 40 feet high.



"hot springs in the plain"

At Hveravellir—literally "hot springs in the plain"—thin terraces of geyserite precipitate from the water as it cools. A notorious 18th-century outlaw, Fjalla-Eyvindur, stayed warm here for years, stealing sheep from summer pastures.
